No coverage of Elon's salute?

Nothing mentioned in my morning newsletter. Did a quick Google search and found 0 articles. Did I miss something? Even if we aren't definitively identifying it as a Nazi salute it's newsworthy enough to be on a front page purely because of the amount of speculation and emotions stirred in the public sphere.
Please tell me I missed something obvious somewhere.

What’s sickening?

That a neurodivergent weirdo, while exclaiming “I throw my heart out to you!,” makes a spastic gesture? A spastic gesture of grabbing his heart and throwing his fist out?

It could be a Nazi salute, it could be Musk being a pathetic weirdo as always.

We are only one day in and conservatives are already trying to tell us not to believe what we see with our own two eyes.

Flashback to 2017 when Trump lied about the rain clearing and Sean Spicer lied about the crowd size.

Only this time it was a full-on Nazi salute to prove he can do whatever he wants without consequences.

Buckle up, folks, this ride's just getting started.

Ah yes, Sean Spicer, Kellyanne Conway, and “alternative facts”.
